The sitting president's four-year term (art. 25) began on 11 Mar 2026 (TRICEL proclamation of 5 Jan 2026, tribunalcalificador.cl post of 6 Jan 2026) and so ends on 11 Mar 2030; the third Sunday of November 2029 is 18 Nov 2029 (Sundays 4, 11, 18). The Chamber (art. 47, renewed every four years; elected 16 Nov 2025) and the half of the Senate elected on 21 Nov 2021 (art. 49, eight-year terms from 11 Mar 2022) are elected on the same day (art. 51: 'Las elecciones de diputados y de senadores se efectuarán conjuntamente'). There is no dissolution of Congress in the Constitution; only a presidential vacancy can bring an early presidential election (arts. 28-29). No convocation or SERVEL calendar for 2029 exists yet. Polling: tables meet at 08:00 (Ley 18.700 art. 63) and close 'A las dieciocho horas del día de la elección, y siempre que no hubiere algún elector que deseare sufragar' (art. 74), i.e. 21:00 UTC on the mainland. Mainland Chile keeps summer time (UTC-3) through November-January: Decreto 93/2025 (bcn.cl idNorma 1211955) recites the base rule of Decreto 1489/1970 (summer time from the second Saturday of October to the second Saturday of March) and the later decrees (1286/2018: first Saturday of September to first Saturday of April); press reports a Decreto 98/2026 fixing that period up to April 2029 (not read on the official portal). Either rule puts the polling day on UTC-3. Magallanes and Aysén are on UTC-3 all year (Decretos 143/2022, 93/2025). Easter Island (Chile Insular Occidental) is on UTC-5 in summer, so its tables close at 23:00 UTC. Each table counts on the spot (art. 75) and SERVEL publishes bulletins as tables finish; these 'tendrán el carácter de preliminares' (art. 185). 2025 precedent: SERVEL's election-night bulletin of 16 Nov 2025 had 62.76% of 40,900 tables at 20:30 local, 3.5 h after the close (servel.cl news, 16 Nov 2025), and its next-morning bulletins are stamped 17 Nov 2025 09:59 (Boletin-Escrutinio-SN-251117-0959, servel.cl news of 17 Nov 2025).
